Dear dear Fred Thomas! A lovely man and I miss him too. He came to the UK in 
about 2000 for a vacation and we spent the day in my Triumph 2000 saloon 
driving one of the former factory test routes. Fred was fascinated in the way I 
used the overdrive and said so many nice things about it. When he went home he 
asked for my address as he wanted to send me something to say thank you for the 
day we shared together. About three weeks later, a long parcel arrived at my 
home and on unpacking it, lo and behold was a beautiful powder-coated valve 
cover he'd done for me. It went straight on the car and stayed there until I 
sold it and put the old one back in place. I've still got it and dearly wish 
I'd got a car to fit it to but I'm now too long in the tooth "to play with 
Triumphs myself."

I remember Fred Thomas giving these out at The Roadster Factory Party in 2003 
or 2004?  Joe Curry, does that timeframe ring a bell or was it another pin or 
date.  Rest In Peace Fred.  I miss you. Jim Henningsen
